Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing the AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori during the summer transfer window.

Liverpool could use more depth in the defensive unit, and he would be a handy option for them.

As per Quotidiano Sportivo, Newcastle United are keeping tabs on the former Chelsea player as well. Milan are prepared to sanction his departure, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get the deal done.

He has a contract with the Italian club until 2027, and Milan are unlikely to renew his deal. He will be available for a reasonable amount of money. Liverpool parted ways with Ibrahima Konate earlier this summer, and players like Joe Gomez have struggled with persistent injury problems.

Adding another central defender to the team could prove to be a wise decision, especially if they can get the deal done for a reasonable fee. Tomori would be ideal for them. He knows the league well, and he will be able to settle in quickly and make an immediate impact. He has ample Premier League experience with Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United are on the 28-year-old as well. They need long-term alternatives to players like Dan Burn and Fabian Schar. Tomori certainly fits the profile. They will be able to offer him regular opportunities and the platform to compete at a high-level.

The opportunity to return to his homeland will be exciting for the 28-year-old defender as well. He will look to join a competitive team where he can fight for trophies. It remains to be seen where he ends up. His contract situation means that Liverpool or Newcastle will be able to sign him for a nominal fee this summer.
